About 21,000 Irishmen were already serving in the British Army when war broke out in 1914. NMI’s new exhibition ‘Recovered Voices’ explores what happened to them, and the other 47,000 who joined in the first few years of the war.

From the lush green fields of France in the summer of 1914, through that first Christmas in the trenches, to the sun dried beaches of Turkey in 1915, this exciting new exhibition unveils the complexity of Ireland’s part in World War One.
